THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We have reached a point in the 2012-13 season where everyone can basically agree there are eight or nine teams that can win the national title, and that none are distinctly flawless or dominant."
Eamonn Brennan, ESPN.com college basketball writer
Of the 7 national championship games that went into overtime, Kansas has been involved in two of them. 1957, 2008.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who was the last NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player that was a freshman?
A: Anthony Davis, Kentucky, 2012. ESPN.com
THE MORNING BREW College basketball elite still uncertain
Fast forward to March 17. It's selection Sunday, and you’re happier than a kid at the candy store because the 2013 NCAA Tournament Bracket is official. You grab your pencil, and habitually write Kansas on six different lines with the last one reading "National Champion" underneath.
We all do it. And frankly, it works. In recent years, we have been blessed with fantastically talented basketball teams that enter the Big Dance with legitimate title hopes.
But this year is a bit differen
But this year is a bit different. Kansas certainly has the game to get there, and McLemore and the gang reminded us of that Monday night. Now, the question is who to pencil in on the other side of that line.
The parity of college basketball this year has been through the roof. Or you could say there are no elite teams.
Regardless, no single team can latch into a spot at the top. The top-five teams are dropping like files recently. Every队 ranked No. 1 in the past five weeks has lost within days of achieving that ranking.
This leaves us over zealous bracket planners confused on our Final Four selections. A strong Final Four case could be made for as many as eight other teams.
Who you ask? Sure, I'll list them.
Indiana, Duke, Miami, Michigan, Syracuse, Florida, Michigan State, and Gonzaga. And yes, Gonzaga is currently receiving first place votes in both major polls.
Each team has flashed as many moments of invincibility as they have vulnerability—see Kansas' last 14 days.
It will be interesting to watch the 'Hawks leading in March, but even more entertaining to observe who separates themselves from the pack. My guess is as good as yours. Just too much is going on in the top-10.
Even come tourney time it will be impossible to know. The No. 5 seeds are instantly on upset alert and after last year, even No. 2 seeds have to be careful.
No strict formula has been proven over the last few years. Kentucky did it with ridiculous talent. Connecticut
a guy named Kemba. Duke did it with chemistry and coaching. Kansas needed a Miracle.
It may come down to the hottest team —Miami. It may come down to the most talented teams—Indiana and Duke.
Or it may come down to a freshman who can both play and dance like a future NBA No. 1 draft pick.
And if AirMcLemore is dancing in Atlanta, you better believe you'll find me dancing on Mass St., too.
